Infinite in Between by Carolyn Mackler

I know exactly why I couldn't get through this book the first time I tried; nothing's really changed except it's summer and I had the time to indulge my curiousity as to whether it would get better. (It doesn't.)
Every single one of the POV characters seemed to have the exact same personality and beliefs, though I'll grant limited credit for casual diversity (one biracial, one gay, one probably bisexual main; still pretty heteronormative, though, and no major ethnic representation). None of them seemed to change much over the course of the book, except for becoming more self-righteous and gaining the usual life experience in tragedies: divorce, death, and general drama. Clichés everywhere — this would make a perfect mainstream high school movie, including everyone having sex and drinking as early as sophomore year — and wholly predictable "twists." Overall,
it dragged and I'm relieved to be done with it.
